As SEC Media Days goes on, what can we learn about Alabama?

Bernard Troncale/The Birmingham NewsArkansas' DJ Williams is one of the guys doing his thing...

So... Team number three is going right now, and that's Mississippi State. Dan Mullen is doing his thing at the podium, answering questions about how to get MSU back to Atlanta. He's also mentioned Tim Tebow about 11 times.

Anyway, we just picked up our copy of the Crimson Tide's media guide, and that, coupled with a few other things, answers a few questions. (As a side note, it's a really sweet guide. Four alternative covers, featuring Julio Jones, Javier Arenas, Mike Johnson, and Rolando McClain, and the entire inside was redone. Very cool.)

-- A bunch of players have left the team since the spring, and the official roster reflects four changes. Lineman Evan Cardwell, and linebackers Brandon Fanney, Jennings Hester, and Charlie Kirschman are not on it. All had reportedly been slated for departures before their eligibility ran out.

-- According toa release from the SEC, we now know the TV times for Alabama's first three games. We knew that the Virginia Tech game on Sept. 5 was at 7 p.m. Central. Now, we learn that the Florida International game on Sept. 12 is at 6 p.m. on pay-per-view, and the Sept. 19 game against North Texas is at 11:21 a.m. Central on the SEC Network.

-- If you're a person who enjoys jersey numbers, the roster also features the info on what some freshmen are wearing....
